Dru Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I just thought that since all the ice climbers out there are nervously watching the mercury I should post some conditions! Mousetrap - high volume Better Mousetrap - grass and dirt Hells Lake Falls - jetskis on approach, may be difficult to cross lake Sailor Bar Gully - nice collection of plants flowering at crux Super Heroes Cirque - Kryptonite Column slightly dripping; other routes dry but not well formed Under The Big Top/Water Music - in situ pigeons at crux Also of note is that a forest fire is currently burning above Honeyman Falls. Does that red foam freeze??? Quote
JoshK Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 LOL. wow, that was random, but quite amusing. Any clue if it's warm enough to be using wetsuits yet, or are most climbers still sticking to drysuits? Quote
Dru Posted June 21, 2004 Author Posted June 21, 2004 i think you just need to keep your tool dry not your whole suit Quote
Dru Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 I haven't been by Marble Canyon recently. can anyone help out a brother with some beta? I heard Pink Cadillac is seeing some ascents though. Quote
ken4ord Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Oh yeah I forgot Pink Cadillac is still in. Thanks Quote
mr.radon Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) I was up there this Sunday. This is so funny. The first time I was up there in the summer and its like a broiler oven, 95F. I ran into the local pub and sucked a few brews back to re-hydrate. I'm like telling the folks, really, this is where jdog and I go to climb ice!!! Attached pic of fire near lilooet.

"Helicopter to Base: Roger that...., we're gonna take another sweep of the fire. Over." "Dude, I'm sooooo friggin' High! Let's circle till till the rotors are covering in resin" "Base to Helicoptor: is that the grateful dead playing in the background?" Quote
Dru Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 There is no ice at all on the Sumallo Bluffs. Most of the face is bone dry. However there is a faint trickle in the "unclimbed gully" out right which promises great things if we get a quick freeze in the next few weeks Quote
